I think that my work is honestly the most important factor in my happiness. I spend 8 hours a day (probably for the rest of my life) at work so it's going to be the thing that impa…

What a coincidence! I've got my dream job too! The things I did to get here are honestly kind of stupid. I started out at a defense contractor after graduating and left in the firs…

How many people if I may ask? And how many TPS for your services? I am hoping I can get away with a simple monolith for a very long time.

That I'd be comfortable with.

> Denying the world access to clean, affordable fuels like gas, oil, and coal is a real problem. This is literally the second sentence of that article.

Class interests supersede national interests.

I don't want to be negative, but this post reads like a list of things that I want to avoid in my career. I did a brief stint in cloud stuff at a FAANG and I don't care to go back …

I mean, you could come back as a contractor and have them pay your rate to show them how to get the authentication script authenticating again. Obviously this isn't ethical. > Don'…

Sorry, replace "is it legal?" with "how likely are you to get caught and face penalties?".

It sounds like they were never given written confirmation for the bonuses. How likely are you to face penalties if you put a "time bomb" in a codebase like this? Something with pla…

Is there anywhere to read about what CI/CD looks like for a Mars rover? Curious what a pipeline for something like that looks like and how they account for bugs, what kinds of conv…

> Are you sure you can see this genocide? Yes, I make sure that I have verified that what I am seeing is real. I immediately do a fact check. I read Haaretz because if Israeli medi…

There is disinformation on TikTok. There are white supremacists and antisemites that take every Israeli conflict as an opportunity to spread their hate. This is true. What is also …

> Can you name a single state in the world with a majority muslim population that hasn't adopted any laws based on religion or passed any laws that discriminate against non-muslims…

> All of this would end in an instant if Hamas would give up hostages and surrender. No, it would not. There would still be 400,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Palestinians …

> Modern-day Zionism to me and many others means that Israel has the right to exist. I think the framing of this argument is so tricky, because states don't have any rights. States…

As a westerner, I have never heard a single person in the western sphere mention a peaceful, non-occupational one state solution. How common is the idea of a democratic single stat…

Not all, sorry I should have qualified that statement. I was just trying to point out that when Israel claims that it stands for all jews, it can backfire and actually end up causi…

To add to this, OP if you want to learn more about why Israel is so callous to Palestinian life you need to learn about the Israeli right wing and how it came to power. I mean, thi…

A common sentiment I have heard in the US is that "TikTok causes antisemitism". What I believe is actually happening is that TikTok debunks a lot of Hasbara talking points about th…

I am pretty sure in anime that you have specific studios and directors who direct and animate fight scenes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutaka_Nakamura Is one who comes to mind. …

I do some biology-adjacent programming work. I think protein and cell simulations would be a fun area to learn about. I am familiar with projects like OpenWorm. You seem pretty kno…

Oh man I loved the podcast you did with Mike for Newgrounds. I had never stopped to think about the fact that Mike had to actually write an entire flash emulator to get Castle Cras…

I think the issue is more that power laws distributions have a lot of negative externalities. Inequality is correlated with a lot of societal problems. > People see these power law…
